Very interesting to review the evolution of Pacific NW maps up until about 1900.
I love old maps and I love the Pacific Northwest, so this is a great addition to a fantasy of traveling there.
I don't find this atlas particularly useful. It is a collection of historical maps, rather than a historical atlas showing any particular historical insights into the Pacific Northwest. There are no thematic maps, or any original maps of any kind. Not helpful.
